  • Love is such an invredible hard game to play.

    Love is a long stony way to go...

    I close my eyes and cry the shit out of my heart t this song. I lost my big first big love... and it hurts so much...

  • Nice very Fucking nice

  • I can't really relate to this song because I have wonderful parents. Either way, I love this song. I've listened to it so many times it should be considered rape.

  • Best song.!!! Held it close for a long time now

    

  • I can be anything I want to be if I want it enough? Fine, I want to be yours. <3

  • @BrBlevins13 Music is left open to the interpretation of the listeners. I know your beliefs probably prohibit free thinking, that is okay. Though, this is music, so we may read into it what we want.

  • This video (with respect to the mother) is about letting fear of hell rule your life. Which is something all Christians fear. :P

  • @atheistram Not all Christians fear hell.

    Some people do what's asked of them out of fear of punishment if they don't.

    Some people do what's asked of them because they want the reward of heaven.

    Some people do what's asked of them because they love the one who does the asking.

  • Actually other humans being do and can judge your work (commenting on your video description).

  • this song helps fuel my fire to be nothing like what everyone thinks! tthanks for mputtin it on here!

  • This one of the greateat songs i've ever heard in my life!! :)

  • I've known this song since 2005(during my high school). i liked the song before but i cant relate with it. then after my father passed away, just 53 years old, I started to fool myself. i regret that i didnt have a chance to be close with him, actually with my family. but now, i have to move on coz i know that i cant give up of life just like my father did. I'll make the best of it with my mother and siblings. I Love you DAD!!!

  • My father died of a heart attack in 2010. I found out in 2011 on a damn website. Being a Vietnam veteran caused him to take hold of drugs and abuse them to a end that only could have weakened his body to the extent it would finally give out over time. My mother, God bless her soul did drugs for so long. And quit. Now free from the opression of drugs she has taught me the ways of life in a clearer way. But she is now with a man who is still married with his ex wife. This song actually meant alot.

  • You interpret this song much differently than I do. To me, it's always been a song about living with parents who shove religion down your throat. Not wanting to live like your mother, who lives in fear of a totalitarian sky dictator who demands that she lives by rules that make her life less enjoyable, and not wanting to be like a father, who - despite his good nature and good intentions - has given up on trying to find happiness and just takes life as it comes.

  • reminds me alot of my parents but my mother is strong willed my dad not so much e was a strong man but let a stupid hairon addiction take over his life and ended it as well.....he gave up way befour he died he gave up the first time he stuck the needle in his veins.....

  • @everyone thanks. It's been a hard road, but my adoptive family hasn't been that great either. They are abusive... But they are alll I have. And on a more positive note, I found my biological parents(deceased) and through that, I found my 19 year old little sister. She's been a friend of mine for quite a while... :) and just to clear up confusion, i'm female and i'm currently expecting my 2nd child!!

  • Man I have so much hard decisions I just got kicked out of my math class that I worked so hard to get in my teachers treat me like crap and im kind of a loner my life style consists of sitting at home doing nothing ,and working at school I just about lived and gave I guess all that work was for nothing

  • Wonderfully put together

  • love it amaazing job

  • pizza eats mushrooms

  • Dear Katy Perry,

    Your songs have no meaning and your voice is shit without autotune.

    love,

    A SES fan...

  • @Rex55551 you ruin these videos, posting hate about other artists.. shes obviously not good but who gives a crap?

  • it may not be about loving parents, but it is thanking his parents for the inspiration to be who is he today. whether it was thru loving ways or a bad enough upbringing to motivate him to be better than they were to him

  • ...fml . this is not about loving his parent's .. it's about not wanting to be like them ...

  • Lil' Wayne and Nicki Minaj can Kiss my balls.

    Smile empty soul Forever <3

  • Wow. This was amazing. I'm the daughter of a cancer survivor and my mother had a horrible childhood growing up. This song just amazes me. Very rarely will a song bring tears to my eyes. This did.

  • this is like my anthem

  • This song is one of my personal favs. Especially the line "I don't want to give up, before I die". that line's my favorite cuz my mom and dad basically saved me. They found me in a trash can, and saved my life. I never knew my real parents, or why they just abandoned me in a trash can. But I honestly don't care. My parents are the ones who raised me, and are now at peace wherever they are. My mother died when I was 15, and my dad just passed on May 3rd this year. I miss them with all my heart.

  • @KitannaRaven1323 Im sorry that happened to you no one should have to feel that pain

  • @KitannaRaven1323 wow, from the heart, that sucks that your real parents left you, but well those two saved you and Im guessing loved you like a true son, and thats all you should need, you shouldnt care about who your real paents, sure they are assholes and probably got what was coming to them

  • @KitannaRaven1323 or daughter, i dont know what your gender is lol

  • @KitannaRaven1323 omg really? D: im soooo sorry to hear that! nobody should have to go through something like that...

  • @KitannaRaven1323 omg, sorry if this sounds not too macho but that actually brought a tear to my eye.

  • story of most of our lives, but we all got through it, its not what happened to most of us back then, its what makes us who we are now. we are all strong and have a strong will, for those who got through the hard times, i salute you, and for those still going through it, keep you head up and continue to fight through, it will make you stronger than you are now in the future. be strong...

  • Awesome song, great meaning!

  • omg this song is literally my life

  • Story of my life :/ put into song.

  • I love my parents, they work very hard and the asked me if i wanted to believe in god or not.

  • This is such a beautiful song..... it reminds me of my parents... they passed away on the same day before I was gonna take off to college on a full-ride to SFSU. I play classical guitar and the beat to this song is so beautiful but I also love punk music. I had to give up on college to take care of my younger sister though :( it's been hard but atleast I haven't gave up!! And I never will

  • @devampboi You keep going man, as long as you're there, your sister's got nothing to worry about x

  • @devampboi it made me tear up reading your comment :(

    keep your head up. you can make it through

  • Its ok to be a christian parent, and take your kids to church, but you cant FORCE them to believe it. give them the choice. dont shove it down there throats

  • To me, this is the greatest song ever. It has a story behind it, and it sounds great

  • I never heard this song before. I'm 39, but I love this. This is why I feel like I didn't fall on my face and overprotect my daughter when her two younger siblings passed away last year. My original instinct was to be overprotective, but I let it go and let her be a child, as much as she could be considering everything. Hopefully later, she would not relate to this song in relationship to me because I do do my best to let her be free despite everything. Peace and love!

  • This song got me through middle school. I was always the "black sheep" of the family, my father wasn't really in my life. My mom played both parts in this story, she always worked to provide for us and well never adjusted to this society, plus she's a die-hard catholic so the way I chose to live upset her very much. And although I Love my mom with all my part, I will never put restraints on my kids as the song says(:

  • @teresamariecarey **heart not part

  • Eveyones life turns out to be just like this once in their lifetime some of us is harder than others and thanks to smile empty smile he and his band have shown us the way thank you Smile Empty Soul!!!!

  • I love my dad. He's hard working and determined, and he always gives 1000% of himself for me, my mom, and his job.

    However, my mom lets HER fear of me having a seizure rule MY life.

  • This song has so much emotion

  • That black bar at the bottom ruined it.

    -God

  • This song is so related to me, thank Smile Empty Soul it like you know what I'm being through.

  • how sweet <33

  • my dad shot my my mother when i was only a baby her gave up and my mom lived scared because of his abuse sad really been depressed since i can remember

  • Great song.

  • nice going dumb ass this song isnt for religion, the fear that controls her life IS religion

  • My mum trows me out of the house today.. :) i'll leave this song on the pc screen.

    This will be her last memory of me ...

  • oh great. i find this song now tht he's already dead. just great

  • I am gonna be a mother and this will be my first kid and my mother is sitting there telling me shit and saying I am gonan be a bad mother when in reality she was a fucked up mom and so is my dad. I am only 18 and my bf thought it would be nice to have a kid even though I am not ready but were both managing and I promised my self that I would never hold my kids back if they wanna try anything

  • People have all different takes on what songs are about. There is absolutely no reason to argue about it. That's the great thing about music. You can listen to it and take it with any meaning you want. I am sick of people on these. If you were a true fan, you would want other people to enjoy the same music. Even if it's in a completely different way. Now cheer up, listen to the song... And probably get depressed again. Lol.

  • this song dosnt have anything to do with religion his mom died of cancer and his dad just works his days away smile empty soul didnt even write this song this song was writen by a short dorky kid who didnt have to many chances in life i know this for a 100% fact cause i was there

  • My Dad works two jobs. The second is because of health insurance because my Mom is sick, and she can't get it. So ALL my life that's what I've known. My Mom acts like if you don't dress or act a certain way there is something wrong. A couple of weeks ago we found out my Mom was cheating on Dad. ALL OF THOSE YEARS she judged me and then she does that.

  • 35 PEOPLE ARE FUCKING RETARDED, SOMEONE PLEASE NOTIFY YOUTUBE SO THEY CAN FIX THE GLITCH AT 3:53 WHEN THE SONG DISGUSTINGLY STOPS FOR NO REASON.

  • click me

    to hear the best mother song

    believe me

    I you will never hear something so fascinating like that

    I swear

  • I like these comments, I guess it was just too touchy of a subject for the trolls

  • i sang this at my school choir concert, i dedicated it to my mom and dad who are no longer in my life. my dad abandoned me and so did my mom....after the song i broke down backstage

  • You were blessed to have caring parents. Some kids have parents who encourage them to go outside and play in the middle of uncoming traffic. Or rather they DON'T. The only chains are yours. The ones you imagine. You have freedom but no LOVING parent can just stand and watch their child put their finger in the electric socket.

  • Does "God" have a tighter grip on people than the nooses that so many people unfortunately slip into?

    Live for yourself.

  • This song is exactly how things are. My mom shields me from the world because shes afraid i'll meet the wrong influences and my dad works hard going around trying to be superman. Yet, we couldnt be further apart. Needing some friends who are going through this too..? thumbs this up and message me

  • @MrThecommunistcomrad thats probably the best quote i have ever read

  • Songs like this are inspiring. It's even more amazing to look at these comments and know that I'm not the only one that is motivated by this song and band. Story of our lives.

  • i had a child abuse counseling powerpoint and i added this song to it it made my teacher cry cuz she was amazed at how much i cared about ppl

  • @MrThecommunistcomrad Just was wondering if the words you wrote are from a song or from your thoughts? If it was about "this" song , I did not pick up on any religous stuff. I really like this song....and I was reading the comments. If you don't mind....plz. let me know what your comment means. Thank you....Oh, and btw....I do agree with your comment in the fact that no one should shove any crap down peoples throats, not just kids...right ?

  • some people just dont get it :/

  • PLEASE shut the FUCK up you bunch of whining pussies. your parents are being parents you dumbfucks, they control you for 18 years! you guys have the rest of your life to be bitching little unproductive fags. nah im jk i dont really give a shit :)

  • @vansboardsk8er12 Whoa.....interesting comment. Nice to know you were j/k

  • @vansboardsk8er12 hahaha:) i like this comment:D

  • @vansboardsk8er12 I really hope you werent joking. I too, am tired of all the whining.

  • @PessimisticMonday i wasnt joking, i just realized half way into my comment that i was whining about people whining lol

  • i love this song it reminds me of when i was younger like about 12 or 15 i'm 17 now with a beautful baby girl named haley and a loving boyfirend.

  • all you guys are talkin about how your parents are controlling and dont let you get away with shit, ha! parents like that sound pretty good, try probation pussies

  • 32 people dont apreciate the meaning of this song

  • I don't see, in the least bit, how this is anti religion. Religion isn't about forcing your children to be a specific way, or anything like that. It's about believing God, accepting Jesus, and trying to help others do the same. It's about putting your trust into fate. Religious people don't have to be controlling.

  • this is the most truthful song ever.

  • This is an awesome song and band....it is true to real life situations that I have faced....I hope my daughter lives her life as she chooses and breaks the chains of her father..

  • This is an awesome song and band....it is true to real life situations that I have faced....

  • ...makes me tear up. So true, especially being my dad just got arrested for abuse last night. =[

  • ...makes me tear up... So true.

  • im posting this awesome ass shit to facebook man it was AWESOME!!!!!!

  • ....o_O...my life is made into a song!

  • Even though lifes hard and your parents piss you the fuck off but they're still your parents and i love mine but yes i do wanna move out but i'll always love them no matter how fucked up a fight can get :)

  • @sweetsuga666 Amen to that:)

  • i read some of the comments you guys left and came to the conclusion that you all define what it means to be a true rebel the new meaning of rebel is to stand up for what you think and do what you think is right some people see it as a racist symbol but it just doesn't mean that anymore my black friend flies the rebel high and proud next to the american flag thank the lord i have parents don't try to control me

  • @MyGta123 These whining pussies aren't rebels....Rebels actually do stuff about real, meaningful issues. Not bitch and moan on the internet about how mommy and daddy don't understand.

  • sometimes i feel like i'm getting controlled by my parents. i accept being a christian and i'm fine with going to mass every week but... this is still my life. they don't accept my actions as i do for their's. they won't let me be me

  • @MidnightStalker47 I'm the same. Luckily, when i turn 18 in august i hope she'll accept my life as my own and won't have to keep living by her rules

  • no offence to u bud but i think hes talking about giving up religion because his mom is always in fear of god so i mean good message nd im not knockin u im just sayin might be a bad choice on song to put something about god after this song.....just sayin

  • @AndrewAttackkk agreed, def anti religion

  • Check out the song The Other Side by Smile Empty Soul

  • @itiswhatitis4now

    yea, you right but its fucker up when parents tells you that you cant to this or be what you want because they dont want you to be..they should keep kids save but not control them

  • @itiswhatitis4now well firstly thats not true not all of them have good intensions and half of them dont give a fuck anyways, and in the end they have no control they just want to be higher than someone else so they can think mighty of themselves. ohh and P.S tell that to all the kids who've been abused and abandoned by their parents ohh and dont forget incest motherfucker

  • OMG goosebumps.:)

  • this is how i was rased its a hard life

  • @itiswhatitis4now so that gives them reason to be drug addicts, beat there kids, force there kids to be christians? hmm makes sense!

  • can totally relate to this song!

  • Comment removed

  • I liked it. I like how the song in general is not complex at all, but neither is it a completely sad song. My parents hardly ever listen to these genres of music I greatly appreciate, so I highly doubt they'd take this song as seriously as we seem to. But my mom would leak from her eyes worse than a faucet if she heard this, mostly because it's emoting a strong subject or several - failure, lack of parental acceptance and respect, etc.

    -Thank you, @kaladien!

  • What's with all the bitching and moaning? Just enjoy the song.

  • @PessimisticMonday I agree(:

  • Yea, this does feel like my family story. My dad works nearly every day, and literally until he breaks. My mom always tells me to dress 'normal' so I won't get into fights. Both of them told me to be a christian, while I choose not to. Fights all over the place. Thank goth I'm moving out.

    And the ending of this song: When I have kids, I won't put any chains on their wrists I want.. Cause Kids should be what they want to be. If they want something strange, I just want to hear their motivation.

  • @kipjah i feel the same way i just had a son few months ago and i will let him be anything he wants to be.

  • @kipjah Thats From The Heart! I Can Telll. Go Be A Soong Writterr!(:

  • @ReApErZaRaTe thanks :) and yes, it's from the heart. Kids are so innocent.. If kids act bad, it's not their fault, but their parents or the environment.. Spread that.. ;)

  • @kipjah Exacctalyy!!!

  • @kipjah i agree with u my family is always telling me to be someone that im not and lets face it im a person that only wears black but im always judged

  • @kipjah i agree with u my family is always telling me to be someone that im not and lets face it im a person that only wears black but im always judged my kids r gonna be free to be them

  • until you get some experience under your belt and realize the bullshit in life.

  • SMILE EMPTY SOUL!!!!!!!!

  • damn. i have so much drama bout these stupid stereotypes in school already. whenever i scroll down at the comments, i DONT WANNA SEE anything relating to "emos" or anything proclaiming to that matter. emo's not even a stereotype .___. dont label this for me. just tell me how this song is . v___v

  • I already lost my brother at war in Iraq and this song hits right in the heart, I'm here at the South Korean border right now due to threats of the north.

  • @arlo1024 Thank you so much for what you do for us man. It's people like you that give meaning to all of our lives.

  • This song... Hits me right in the heart... <3 

  • I am in love with this band and this song. It's so amazing:)

  • This Song <3 <3 <3

  • This is just.. so true. I feel like this song really fits so many people's lives. Many people have parents who are afraid of life, and death, and work themselves too much. Who gave up long before they ever even tried. And I think this really shows how people are feeling about their parents.

  • Thank you so much for uploading this. I heard this song like four or five years ago and I never knew who the band was or the name of the song was.  Now I know and it is still bitchin'.

  • this song made me cry... it's brilliant!

  • My mom drank herself through my childhood through my teen years; never facing her demons. that bottle attached to her hip. My father worked him self like a dog; (as a carpenter with hard labor) to support my mom and I. My mom never worked a day. I grew up alone with her poisonous drunken words while my dad was breaking his bones to put food on the table. I grew up visiting the hospital many times for her detox sessions and her attempted suicide. I'm 21 and ihope to never be like them.

  • Does anyone think the guitar and bass sound wicked on the chorus?

  • @ridinmy63 Dude, this song is sick in general! But yea I do agree and the drums really set the mood! I love it all. When I first heard this song tears welled up in my eyes...it's beautiful if only more people had such appreciation for this type of rock.

  • I really love this song..

  • I know you guys won't hate me but i pray you never live like me. mommy loves and misses you guys

  • this song make me cryy so much this song when right into my heart and soul it makes me think my family and all the pain i suffer :) :(

  • @marinos144 Thats ok the more you suffer the stronger you become.

  • does anyone know the song that goes like " standing on the edge of what is real.."

  • @1W2E3S

    Does you maybe mean "Here's To Another", an other song of them. I searched for the lyric part and found this one. I hope you mean this song :) . Be blessed.

  • @Andras0978 thanks man it was that song

  • omg this song makes me cry everytime i listen to it... this song i can relate to I LOVE YOU mom.... and some advice 4 everyone if u dug a hole too deep stand up and find a way out..... this song is to u mom in a good way.. its been 2 years since ive seen you.... fix your self if u read this ♥♥♥ =*/

  • Reminds me of exactly what i say everyday, i dont want to be or act the way my mother and father do toward us children, its time to stop things that ruin families and stop them now!

  • you must be a great son....yo accept your mistakes but also you show that your not the only one with mistakes..... and you are right.... ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE US....so.....congratulations..­....you are honest ;)

  • I was fukin this girl once and with this knife came on and she started crying. lol.

  • omg i love this song i can relate to these lyrics.... IT MAKE ME CRY EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO IT

  • my bad. i was thinking of a different song.

  • if my son ever dedicates this song to me i would have failed as a father. ive meet smile emptysoul and i know wat te songs about.

  • @DirtyD478 damn straIGHT fuck em up

  • so god damn relatable....<3

  • @Daniel69bro I've been in the same situation my whole life. I completely understand that.

  • My father died, and I actually wish I would have taken his advice. Parents trying to rule your life doesn't mean they want you to be like them and follow their dream, while not following your own. They want you to follow your own dreams. They want you to reach your goals and become ultimately happy. They want to be proud...

  • @pilar

    I feel the same way :/

  • This is what my father does to me all the time and this songs are the words that i could never say him to but hope to say to him someday

  • @SmexyPilar don't worry dude i feel ur pain..... ur not along not alone and neither is anyone else. I can never explain things to my father cuz he either neither takes anything seriously or just doesn't pay attention so its hard to express things and he understand sometimes but.... we don't like our parents or we hate how they do certain things till the day they die and after they die...we realize the certain things...

  • I thoroughly enjoy all the hate this band gets, a truly freaking awesome band always have their haters, now we know this band is awesome. And honestly the genre of the song is based by the listener, if one thinks it's emo, then it's emo, if another thinks it's grunge then it's grunge. Plain and simple

  • why do all you have to label stuff.... my god its just music!!!!!!!! who cares if its emo or not!!!!!! Look if you label something your putting limits and restraints on it in your mind why would you want to do that? i literally can no go anywhere on youtube without seeing comments saying is this emo is this goth no this is punk no it this or that... why do you guys care so much its music end of story

  • i wish i could still listin to this band but sadly my ipod somehow removed all my music and i got a new computer so i cant transfer ny purchases so for now i can only use youtube for my music this sucks.

  • @danduran777 limewire or get a turrent download download there music transfer to itunes lolz :) thats what i do ^^

  • to mom and dad

  • its touching, yes, i wouldnt say emo, but my girlfriend had me listen to it and this is the way she feels

  • for mum && dad

  • @krisc12 "Grunge" this isnt grunge... Grunge Died with Kurt. R.I.P Kurt. No one or no band has been able to do grunge the way Nirvana did, so i must disagree and stick to believe what i said, grunge died with Kurt.

  • Digging the traces of 90's all over this song. (Yes I know its a 2000s song)

  • @kryan

    I like your remark about the penis thing, made my day :)

  • This song reminds me much of my own life, but I'm not going to bore you with my "sob" story, to a bunch of people I don't know
